This scenario was used to model the evolution of reciprocal altruism in a 1971 paper by Robert Trivers. Proposed by Merril Flood and Melvin Dresher, this scenario tends to be defined by the conditions T greater than R greater than P greater than S, though related variants relax some of those conditions. A tournament of its iterated variant was proposed by Robert (*) Axelrod and won by Anatol Rapop
